Columbus Man Gets Life For Hospital Shootings

A man who killed three people at a Columbus hospital in March of 2008 has been sentenced to life in prison. 64-year-old Charles Johnston pleaded guilty Thursday in Superior Court--he was then sentenced to three consecutive life terms. Johnston had been accused of entering the hospital March 27, 2008 and fatally shooting an administrative assistant, a nurse and a patient. Police say Johnston held a grudge against a nurse he believed was responsible for the death of his mother five years ago. But the person he killed, 44-year-old Pete Wright, was not that nurse.
